Perrigo parkrun

Lace up your shoes for the Perrigo parkrun, a fantastic opportunity to join a vibrant running community in Redmond, WA, on January 31, 2026. This free, timed 5K event welcomes participants of all abilities, whether you prefer to walk, jog, or push for a new personal best. The course, entirely on tarmac paths within Perrigo Community Park, is often described by runners as relatively flat and easy to navigate, making it ideal for speed work or a relaxed outing. While predominantly paved, some sections may hold mud, leaves, or puddles after rain, adding a natural element to your run.

The Perrigo parkrun course begins and ends at a bollard near the red barn, guiding participants through a route that includes 1.5 laps around the sports fields before heading out onto a paved trail with two turnaround points, then returning to complete another 1.5 laps around the fields. Runners consistently praise the supportive and friendly atmosphere created by enthusiastic volunteers and fellow participants. Launched in June 2019, this weekly event has built a strong reputation for its welcoming vibe and community spirit, with many enjoying a post-run coffee at Cypress Coffee Company.

On typical race days at this time of year, expect highs around 48F and lows around 37F, with approximately a 20% chance of precipitation. These conditions offer a refreshing winter run in the pleasant parkland surroundings. While there are no formal aid stations, the park provides drinking water fountains for convenience. Perrigo parkrun is more than just a run; it’s a community gathering, offering a consistent and friendly environment to enjoy the outdoors and connect with others.
